    It's a little known fact that Echo leaf blowers are responsible for having to add the leap year to the calendar. They are so powerful, they slow the rotation of the earth every fall and spring. I can't prove it, but I can say it. Love mine, and I have the next step down from yours.

    I bought my PB-755ST used last Fall (off E-Bay). It was the better part of three years old when I got it. I'm going into my second leaf season with it. It was in good/fair shape when I got it. Did some basic maintenance. Only issue was carb came loose. No problem cinching it back up. I knew within two minutes of using it that this Echo was a high quality, contractor grade blower. It has heft and it blows big time. You can get those residential grade backpacks at the box stores but they will not perform or last like this bad boy. If you're gonna do it then do it right...especially if you live in the woods. This backpack is the bomb.

    Looks too me it really does a awesome job . Been lots of debates lately on what too do with the leaves . My wife does most of the yard work so she uses the blower too round them up then mulch’s them into the grass with the garden tractor that has gator blades on the deck . I’m not allowed too participate . She has a certain plan set out every year .Being Dutch she takes cleaning the yards very seriously . All my equipment has too be out of the yard also for leaf blowing season . Strict orders 😂 So I just stay in my shop and keep busy 😂 . Blowing the leafs into woods is great idea . Salamanders and other creatures need the heavy leaf piles for the winter so composting and pile into woods is good thing brother . 👍 . That’s all I got too say tonight . Nice job Jay and nice blower 👍👍😂

      Echo makes a larger size designed for more commercial use but honestly we have 18 acres of land and a biblical amount of leaves and it does a great job. I think you would be happy with this machine! This machine or the next size up would work I believe!
